Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

Disclosed is a process that allows printing of plotter graphics in a minimum microprocessor RAM configuration by switching to a lower print resolution (less than 300 dots per inch (DPI)) either automatically or by command. This allows the graphics to print at a lower resolution rather than not print at all at a higher resolution.

Resolution Switching for Supporting Plotter Graphics on a
Page Printer

Disclosed is
a process that allows printing of plotter
graphics in a minimum microprocessor RAM configuration by switching
to a lower print resolution (less than 300 dots per inch (DPI))
either automatically or by command. This
allows the graphics to
print at a lower resolution rather than not print at all at a higher
resolution.

Given that
the internal microcode architecture of the printer
was designed for efficiency as a text output device, use of some of
these text-oriented functions when the printer is to be used to print
graphics is important for architectural integrity as well as code
space efficiency.

Plotter
graphics are produced by passing drawing orders through
the datastream rather than actual image data, as is the case with APA
graphics. A large amount of computation
is required to process the
drawing orders, and the output is normally resolved to a full-page
bit map. Forcing the printer into full
page swath mode to process
plotter graphics would restrict plotter mode to a machine with
expanded memory, thus providing a function in the base code that was
not usable in the base memory configuration.
This approach would
also violate the existing architecture and have a rather large impact
on the base code.

An alternate
method to the bit map solution is to internally
create a download font, using a character image to hold the bit map
data. This method doveta...
